I just love when google rolls out another update and changes their algorithm yet again. Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice? As a result of this major Google update, I had one of two choices. I could either keep everything the same and just get through the holiday season since everything works or I can change the entire website and optimize it for Google and hope and pray the functionality still works. Did I mention that I am currently in holiday season mode? I don't know about you, but whenever I make changes to anything on the website it always screws things up. Can you imagine if I crash my website right now during the busiest holiday shopping season right now? I was feeling pretty lucky or something close to it in the moment so I said screw it, lets make some changes. I threw caution to the wind, pulled my hair back in a ponytail, and coded away. I learned how to write code back in the early days of college and I really despise it. It's one of those things where I can't pay someone to do it because it will end up being wrong because I don't explain it clearly. There are several different ways to write code and make your website do what you want it to do. Google wants the short version that streams fast which means you have to program a little extra code which people don't like to do.
Here are some changes to the website you might notice. The mobile version of the website is streaming fast it loads in a blink. It's so fast and I really impressed myself with that one. The layout shift for the website s also ten times better than it was, especially mobile view. Another feature we have is a chat now button. I love this feature so much! Instead of sending an email to me which might go to spam, you can contact me directly through the website and ask me anything you want.
We also offer a rewards program where you accumulate points with each purchase and it can be redeemed as a coupon. I am also officially starting a brand ambassador program which we were already doing with a few folks, but not it's officially out there. If you love the Beachdshery brand, you can promote it to your social media following and earn extra money when those people place an order.
I also ended up getting the new iPhone 13 Pro Max phone for photos and video. I have new product pictures and they are gorgeous. I hope they will all be on the website by the start of next year after the holiday season.
Shop the new and improved Beachdashery 2.0 website just in time for the holidays. Please be aware of shipping delays. The USPS is delaying mail by a few days to help manage the increase of packages. The best thing you can do is shop early. I am processing orders as fast as I can and the bottleneck has always been the shipping part. Any other questions about the website, just let me know.
